🔈 Say it louder for the folks in the back (and those who just aren't listening): Fast-tracking new oil drilling permits will do nothing to affect pump prices. calmatters.org/commentary/2...

Yesterday we launched CACTI, a #SanFrancisco Bay Area coalition against carbon capture & storage (CCS). I spoke, along with others. It was a powerful event! Huge thanks @foodandwater.bsky.social for your key organizing role 💙 Learn more here: cacticoalition.org

It's (beyond) time to stop paying polluters to wreck our planet. *This year alone* the fed gov't will give $34.8 billion to fossil fuel companies 😱 New report: www.commondreams.org/news/us-foss...

Happening Sept 9: Join SF #BayArea groups & residents at a press conference announcing their alliance to fight the Montezuma Carbon Hub -- a massive waste injection hub proposed near wetlands & communities. www.mobilize.us/fww/event/83...

Huge news ‼️: So-called "Alligator Alcatraz" ordered to cease expansion, bringing new detainees, wind down operations. Thanks to @biologicaldiversity.org , Friends of the Everglades, Earthjustice, & the Miccosukee Tribe. The ruling: 82 pages citing extensive evidence of harms

Federal judge orders closure of Trump’s ‘Alligator Alcatraz’ immigration jail

Action opportunity! 📢 CA Gov. Newsom is proposing legislation to allow thousands of new oil and gas wells to be drilled — without environmental review or public oversight. 👎 Act now! 👇 act.biologicaldiversity.org/K_RW5BlOP0aG...

Our team & others asked a federal court today to stop Trump’s EPA from delaying critical limits on pollution from oil and gas: "I’m hopeful the court will step in to protect our air and give Americans a voice on this important health issue." -- @biologicaldiversity.org attorney Maggie Coulter

The fight over restarting oil drilling near Santa Barbara will determine both the fate of "the single largest threat to California's coast," and whether Gov. @gavinnewsom.bsky.social has what it takes to stand up to more "Trumpian" offshore drilling proposals. @rollingstone.com covers.

The Center and allies have won a temporary restraining order on further construction of "Alligator Alcatraz." Our fight to put an end to this destructive and unjust project goes on. The Everglades should be home to wildlife, not prisons. Read on ➡️ bit.ly/4fvbmYn #AlligatorAlcatraz

🎙️ ON AIR: We're talking with @biologicaldiversity.org's Shaye Wolf, WIRED's @mollytaft.com and @berkeleyearth.org's Kristin Sissner about the Endangerment Finding and the erasure of critical climate reports and data. ❓ What are your questions about the future of climate science? 📻 Listen:

The 2009 endangerment finding was based on overwhelming scientific evidence that has only become more robust. Rescinding the endangerment finding will make it harder for federal agencies to take steps that cut heat-trapping greenhouse gas pollution.

ICYMI, Trump's EPA is seeking to roll back the science-based "endangerment finding" that underlies many GHG regulations. It's going to be a fight. "By revoking this key scientific finding Trump is putting fealty to Big Oil over sound science & people's health."- @safe-climate.bsky.social

www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/08/03/c... "National parks are one of America’s best ideas. This wasteful Everglades abomination surely is one of our worst. It disregards Floridians’ support for our public lands and exploits them for a project steeped in cruelty."

The LA City Council just voted to endorse the Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act, a bill that would make the largest fossil fuel polluters pay their fair share for climate damage. LA is showing up.

Exactly 10 years after a huge oil spill from an onshore pipeline devastated the coastline and led to hundreds of millions of dollars in damages, Sable Offshore Corp. announced that it restarted offshore production in the area on May 15. Why isn't Gov. Newsome stepping in? ⬇️

This. Is. HUGE. A Santa Barbara judge issued an emergency restraining order, preventing the restart of Sable’s disastrous pipeline. This is a big win—but it’s only temporary. Call @CAGovernor to STOP Sable once and for all. actionnetwork.org/forms/stop-t...

We're celebrating the judge's decision to grant a temporary restraining order against an oil pipeline that spilled in 2015 and is seeking to restart. 🌟 "It’s a relief that the company can’t restart these onshore pipelines while the court considers this case.” [email protected]

Important read 👇 "A raft of environmental groups, including the Sierra Club & @biologicaldiversity.org, is concerned not only about the ecological harm that can come with efforts to sidestep regulation but that much of the forestry work, particularly removing trees, won’t temper wildfire danger."

TODAY: We sued over Trump's approval of a liquified natural gas (LNG) export terminal 🤛 “We’re in affordability, climate, & extinction crises. This project will make all three worse.

It’s time for courage in the California legislature! The Polluters Pay Climate Superfund Act is a common-sense measure to protect taxpayers and raise funds for urgently needed investments in communities. #CALeg, don’t be fooled by Big Oil lies. #SB684 #AB1243 www.abc10.com/video/news/l...

More on Trump's intimidation and overreach attempt to force states like CA to halt their climate & enviro laws. "It’s not really something that Trump can do. If you want to stop the enforcement of state law, you have to go to court.” -- Maggie Coulter w/ @biologicaldiversity.org

In case you didn’t know, Trump is going after the independence of certain federal agencies. These agencies are independent for a REASON. We must defend the FTC! @howardmc.bsky.social

"Trump's coal orders take his worship of dirty fossil fuels to a gross and disturbingly reckless new level," said Jason Rylander ... "Forcing old coal plants to keep spewing pollution into our air and water means more cancer, more asthma and more premature deaths." www.cbsnews.com/news/trump-e...

Read this boffo new paper by Wolf (@cbd-climate-energy.bsky.social), @drrobertbullard.bsky.social & others: academic.oup.com/oocc/article... Here's a taste: "Fossil fuels and the fossil fuel industry are at the core of interlinked, overlapping crises threatening people, wildlife, and the planet."

This! I’ve never seen this many people in the streets in this many places in the U.S. in my lifetime. It’s inspiring, dammit.
